Carpet Bombing For the FBI

The real meaning of "wanted for questioning" has been exposed:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. missile strike in southern Somalia on Monday targeted a man wanted by the FBI, according to a senior U.S. official.

...

It is unclear whether Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed when a U.S. submarine fired a tomahawk missile at the target, the official said Tuesday.

...

The FBI wants Nabhan, 28, for questioning in the 2002 suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel and the unsuccessful attack on an Israeli charter jet in Mombasa, Kenya.

So, a foreign national, while in Kenya, attacks Kenyans and Israelis, and it's deemed a proper response for the US to launch missiles into Somalia? A person from another country attacks citizens of a third country while in a fourth country, so we shoot missiles at a 5th country to solve this situation? Talk about stacking your wrongs until they equal a right.

What's more, a Tomahawk missile is rated as being accurate to within 10 meters. Which means the smallest warhead they'd consider putting on it has to have a kill zone of at least 10 meters in radius - so at a minimum it's potentially lethal to someone 60 feet away from the target, even if using the weakest possible hypothetical warhead, and not any of the tac-nuke or carpet-bombing submunitions that a Tomahawk can carry. Standard armament is 1,000 lbs of explosives. And you launch the damn thing from a ship miles away. I ask you to name all the terrorists in this case - I'm pretty sure there's American soldiers and politicians on that list.


WTF happened to this nation? Launching missiles into a country we're not at war with should require congressional approval.
